Hassan Othman, Palestinian citizen of Israel, was forced to demolish his home by Israeli forces [Arab48]

A Palestinian citizen of Israel was forced to demolish his house yesterday to avoid being fine demolition fees by Israeli occupation forces, reported.

Hassan Othman, who lives in the Arab-Israeli city of Sakhnin, had to demolish his property for the secod time to avoid having Israeli bulldozers doing the work as charging him for it. Othman’s house was first demolished 18 months ago under the pretext that it lacked the necessary building licenses.

Othman then took the issue to court in the hopes that it would issue the necessary paperwork.

In a statement, Othman said: “I lost my first house and now I am losing the second one after I had fallen in the trap of the [Israeli] municipality of Sakhnin.”

He noted that he would be forced to pay the fine of 300,000 shekels ($80,000) if he did not demolish his own house.

Arab cities in Israel have been subject to an Israeli campaign to demolish homes under the pretext that they were built without the necessary licenses. Planning applications submitted by Arab citizens are often not approved.
